I am very fortunate in my life to have the opportunity to work with some amazing animals. Most of my experience has been working with tigers, and lions at Six Flags in Vallejo, CA, the Oregon Tiger Sanctuary, and Wildlife Companions in Rio Vista, CA. My work with the big cats eventually led me to conservation and eco-tourism in Ethiopia.

Elephant Conservation
Devastating news from Amboseli National Park in Kenya. One of the best-loved big matriarchs, Qumquat, was slaughtered by poachers, along with her two young daughters. Her youngest daughter was found alongside the carcasses, and she was rescued with the help of David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Her 6-month-old grandson is missing.

White Bengal Tigers
I have spent many years training tigers and lions. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is teaching people about the big cats and their unique natural history.

Elephant Conservation In Ethiopia
Elephants In Ethiopia
This is a great article on Ethiopian scientist Yirmed Demeke. He is very dedicated to Elephant conservation in Mago National Park and Babille National Park in Ethiopia. They have lost 90%
of their elephant population since the 1980's. This is due to illegal poaching.
